Show 6 up and running. Thanks to people who left comments or just listened to the shows. Despite my often totally disinterested ‘presenting’ style I do enjoy doing these, believe it or not and it’s good to drag things off the shelves once a week and play them into the dark chasm of the internet. On another note Charlie McParland failed to stop the Magpies from registering a 4th consecutive defeat last weekend as Notts went down 2-0 at Mansfield (can’t call them Mansfailed now cos they didn’t ) Oh well, there’s always Wrexham on Saturday to pray along to….

Bit of a head cold today so feeling mildly vague, Show 5 made it through an hour of sneezing and came out looking mainly like funk stuff. Good luck to Ian McParland tomorrow as the ex-Notts County striker takes up the unenviable reigns at Meadow lane and attempts to drag the Magpies back from the pits of English football - something no-ones managed to do in living memory it seems. And his first game’s at Mansfailed as well - should be (as Colin Slater would say) ‘very spicy’!

Right then, here’s the new show…show 4. Decided to lay off the disco this time and go for some 60’s (and early 70’s but sounding like 60’s) stuff. Apologies for how the tracklisting seems to get reformatted into one big block…powerless to stop it, it seems.

Show number 3 is up and the mic has been turned down! I’m still mumbling and waffling though, so be warned. As you can see from the playlist, again, heavy on the 70’s (and 80’s) stuff: infact not a trace of 60’s this time ’round. That situation will be rectified in the near future but for the time being it’s all disco muck. Thanks to folk who left comments etc, hope you enjoy this one. Still not sure if this has been added to the iTunes directory..can’t seem to find it on there. I must hasten to add, none of these are up for grabs at the moment…there’s a Trace of Smoke on Ebay right now, though On the subject just how many Korla’s has he got! I reckon that ‘last few’ got together and made a few more last fews cos he’s now stopped saying ‘last few’ yet still they come.

New sales list up at witchsbrew
